Teen Love
They sat on a bench
Their hands nearly quenched
The love that they shared
The feelings they carried
Love in their teens
Just not seen
They grew a lot older
They reunited again.

The Pier Can't Always Keep You Where It Wants You To Be
You stand with your suitcase like a buoy,
bright, bobbing in the shallows,
and I am the pier—
rooted, barnacled, smelling of old salt and rope.
You tell me you’ll stay
if I keep my hands wrapped round your ankles,
but I know the tide you carry in your ribs.
Even on windless days
it pounds against my palms,
shouting for the open mouth

Cracked Reflection
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A stranger, a ghost, pretending to be me.
Skin stretched tight on a frame I resent,
A body I wear like it’s paying the rent.
Eyes that avoid, lips that press thin,
A war with the world that’s fought from within.
I paint on a face like a mask, like a

Dead Imagination
Now I don't have any reasons
anymore,
To express something
you never cared
suddenly you made me
feel high
and left me on lows
Stuck in between,
Its same just like before
when we first talked,
Took me long enough
to get everything,
from starting to end,
it was all my imagination
it was all my delusion,
And desperation,
I will admit
it was all my fault
getting it

One Love
One Love
One Love is all you need...
To see the vast world of hope in the wide foggy world
One Love is all you need.....
To let your guards down to feel the cold and warm of love
One Love is all you need......
To let the breeze penetrate you into your soul into your mind to let you

Nobody new
Is there words to describe you?
All this time I’ve known you and yet we hardly talk. There is much of you that one would see and love.
yet the charm you hold is all I seek. No matter what once was. The only thought I can have is you.
You were all that ever was and all

Enjoyable
I love looking at your enjoyable face. I love the scent of your fragrance and the way you taste. It is such a sight to see such a lovely face. Your eyes stare at me as I gaze. There's no way I can enjoy such a beautiful shape. Your lips kiss my lips as I

for the girls
i didn’t think it was bad,
till i’m sat in bed
flipping through my pictures,
wishing i was thinner.
i catch myself clicking edit
then scrolling the options,
moving the dial further and further back
until there’s almost nothing left.
i would always hate on girls,
the ones that hated themselves
until i realised i turned into what
i swore i’d never be,
pointing out flaws no

He said she had a laugh like added honey
and said her hair was long and lovely
she laughed and said his hair was too
he laughed... and then she knew

she sat and talked about the weather
and said too hot for his jacket leather
and she remembers his blue eyes so very well
and thought 'he's' not shy'....she can always

A touch is a Hug for the Lonely
A touch is a hug for the lonely,
I thought as I sat on that plane.
The sleeping man beside me,
Would never know that feeling he made.
As his head nodded off,
His elbow extended to mine.
This little little tap
Echoed in a hollow mine.
I savoured such a warm embrace,
From the man that would never know me,
But I couldn’t help

The Memory of You---First Kiss
I can still feel your lips on mine,
your fingers tangled in my hair.
I can still smell your sweet perfume,
a whisper lingering in the air.
As if you're with me every hour,
as if your love will always stay—
as if I’ve known you a thousand years
and fell for you again today.
Won’t you

girls lessons
They taught me how to bite my tongue,
Before my voice had even sung.
To shrink myself, to take up less
To fold my fire into a dress.
“Be quiet now, don’t make a scene.”
“Good girls stay soft, polite, and clean.”
So I became a silent shape,
A shadow bound in silk and tape.
I learned to flinch before I spoke,
To laugh
